1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study presents a novel approach to the dehydration of n-propanol using three hybrid methods-D + HPV, D + HPV + D, and D + HPV + D with heat integration-each combining distillation (D) and hydrophilic pervaporation (HPV) without the use of additional solvent agents, as in the most common separation method, extractive distillation. The optimization was performed using a ChemCAD process simulator, targeting 99.9 wt% purity for n-propanol and water. This is the first research to provide a comprehensive cost estimation and carbon footprint analysis for such configurations. Results show the D + HPV + D + HI method provides the best balance of energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and economic feasibility. It reduced heat duties by 18.5% compared to D + HPV + D, achieved similar CO
